  • Notes
  • Model 39-19PT has a semi-automatic record changer that automatically places the pickup arm on the record when the lid is closed. The Philco model 39-19 exists at least as models 39-19F, (not 39-319F), 39-19PA, 39-19PCS, 39-19PF, 39-19PT and 39-19T, all code 121-122. The field coil of the loudspeaker is 1700 ohms. With only 5 tuned circuits it is a cheap superhet. The Canadian schematic shows only a model 39-319 but maybe the suffix AF for the 39-319AF is for a certain cabinet. It seems that the Canadian model(s) have an IF of 460 kc (some tubes have the suffix E) and the USA models of 470 kc.
